    That is gorgeous. I can't believe you got that for $5.00. Maybe it belonged to a relative that she didn't like.

    I agree that it is from the 30's and seems to have a few feed sack fabrics in it. Enjoy that lovely quilt.

    That's beautiful! I can't imagine anyone wanting to part with that for $5. When I find quilts at yard sales they look like the dog whelped on them! I actually bought one like that one time for 25 cents because there was one good area on it big enough to make into a teddy bear. I guess that was my lucky find at the price.

    There are lots of non-quilters that think a scrap quilt is worthless because nothing matches. Store bought is much better in their eyes; hand made is looked down upon. I'm so happy that this beautiful quilt went to someone who will appreciate it for all the work that went into making it.

    This is a beautiful Dresden Plate!! I really love it. The fabric looks like 30's fabrics to me. The REAL not REPRO.

    It was probably made in the 1930's. It is just beautiful!
